Angelic Greetings,
I hope this late-October newsletter finds you and
your loved ones happy and healthy. Over the last month or so, I
have encountered many people, including myself, who were feeling
stuck in some way. I think the common thread that runs through
this issue is a fear of change and a lack of trust that indeed,
everything will be fine, no matter what.
I read something interesting the other day that
said the only way to conquer the fear of change, or of trying
something new, is to do it. Otherwise, we remain stuck and that
fear remains hanging over us. How true! And how often have we
tried new ventures or made changes that have turned out fine and
even empowered us?
It comes down to some very basic issues: faith,
trust, and control. When we authentically let go of our need to
control situations, and we surrender to the Great Mystery of
life, we find trust in the power of the Universe. It is then
that we have faith and know that we are safe and protected, no
matter what. The angels are always by our sides reminding us of
this basic truth.
Whatever you do, don’t berate yourself for being
“stuck.” These moments are golden opportunities for spiritual
growth. Embrace it, examine it, and then do what you need to do
to step into your power and move forward fearlessly.
Perhaps the following “diet” will help to get you moving.
Time to go on a
Diet
Don’t worry. I am not going to suggest Atkins or South Beach. In
fact, it does not even involve calorie-cutting or weight loss.
What I am going to suggest (with a little nudge from the angels)
is that this is a good time for us to go on a “Negativity Diet”
and shed some of the extra weight that might be bogging our
spirits down these days.
My experience has proven to me that my outer
world (everything happening around me and supposedly to me) is a
reflection of my inner world (my thoughts and feelings).
Sometimes we feel it is the other way around. But time and time
again, I find that when I take time to get my inner life
balanced, harmonious and peaceful, the “chaos” or “problems” in
my physical life melt away almost magically.
Even if you find this difficult to believe, it
can’t hurt to give this diet a try. At the very least, it can
help you feel more calm and relaxed so that you can better
handle what life throws your way.
Here are some of my recommendations for the Negativity Diet:
Start your day with a serving of positive
affirmations (create your own affirmations to reflect how you
want to feel, e.g. “I am peaceful, balanced and harmonious.” “I
am joyful and playful.” “I know that everything is in Divine
order.”)
Get at least one helping of quiet time devoted to
your inner peace every day (even 5 minutes counts!). Choose from
any of the following exercises or create your own – meditation,
quiet contemplation, a walk in nature, journaling.
Avoid negativity-rich activities such as watching
or reading the news, watching violent movies, engaging in
gossip, judging yourself or others.
Have a healthy snack of clearing before bedtime.
This might include taking time to forgive yourself and others,
cutting any negative cords, or just releasing the day’s
activities to the angels.
Some diet busters
to look out for:
Worry
Anxiety
Fear
Tip: Clear your plate of these potential diet-busters by working
with your angels and guides. Just give those worries to them!
Also, consider using some of the “diet boosters.”
Some diet boosters include:
Exercise/yoga
Dance
Listening to uplifting music
Taking a bath or pampering yourself in some way
Surround yourself with positive people and situations
Gratitude (count your blessings)
Spending time thinking and focusing on people, places, and
things that make you feel good.
Remember, if you fall off the diet or cheat one day, it’s
perfectly all right. Just get right back on it the next day. If
you do your best to stick to the diet, however, you may start to
feel things shifting. Your perspective will change and your
vibration will increase. Since “like attracts like” you will
then be attracting all those blessings and gifts you truly
deserve. And that is a gift not only for you, but for all those
around you! Most importantly, as you shed those pounds of
negative energy, you will feel lighter. As a result, your inner
light of beauty will shine brightly once again, for all the
world to see.

“Open your eyes. There is so much to see. So much Beauty all

clairvoyant sight. It is available to all, not to just a few.
“Take a moment to close your physical eyes and

Third Eye feeling it cleanse, clear and open. Then allow the
rainbow light to move to your physical eyes for they too must be
willing to open and see. Envision a triangle of rainbow light
that extends on the bottom to your physical eyes and meets at
the top of your forehead surrounding your Third Eye. This is a

There is a purpose to your dreams and to the sights and images

and sharpen your focus.
“Follow the rainbows and teach your children to

Angelic Greetings,
Happy Thanksgiving!
A couple of years ago, I wrote about “Lessons
from a first-grader” in which I shared some wise words from my
then first-grade son. Well, today, I received some new lessons
from a first-grader – but this time from a classmate of my
younger son. I just love the wisdom that flows forth so easily
from these children. These three girls came to the activity
center I was manning and one of them immediately said to me
“you’re pretty.” I smiled, said thank you, and said that they
were all pretty too. Then another girl in the group said: “Some
moms are pretty and some moms are not so pretty. But they are
all beautiful in their hearts.” Wow! What a simple and beautiful
truth.
Have you noticed your inner beauty lately? What
do you see when you look in the mirror? Is that who You really
are? As Rafiki tells Simba the lion when he is disappointed to
see his own reflection looking back at him in the pond, “look
harder.” Once you see that spark and acknowledge that light and
beauty, it naturally emanates from you and is reflected back to
you. Can you see past the looks and personalities of the people
in your life? You judge others to the degree that you are
judging yourself. So the more you can see the true beauty and
light within others, you can see that within yourself as well.
Once you see that beauty, you see that it is so powerful that it
cannot be changed by what anything thinks or says about or to
you, or anything you think, feel or say about yourself. That’s
what my new first-grade friend knows.
